[0007] Preferably, the protective sleeve is a heat shrink tube.

[0008] Preferably, sealants are fixed to the inner walls of both ends of the protective sleeve, and the sealants are isolated from the outside world by adhering a circle of tearable lining film, and the sealants and lining film together constitute a sealant layer.

[0009] Preferably, reinforcement rings are integrally formed at both ends of the protective sleeve to prevent the two ends of the protective sleeve from tearing.

[0010] Preferably, the protective cover is provided with a power assisting portion for facilitating the protective cover to be forced onto the terminal.

[0011] Preferably, both ends of the protective sleeve are turned outward to form a folded portion for preventing the lining film from falling off due to contact between the lining film and the terminal when the protective sleeve is inserted into the terminal.

[0012] The folding portion is sleeved with a fastening ring to prevent the folding portion from restoring.

[0013] Beneficial effects of the utility model: the scheme arranges the protective sleeve at the terminal connection, and effectively controls the amount of colloid injected by injecting glue into the protective sleeve, which can greatly save colloid. At the same time, it can also facilitate the replacement of the terminal when the terminal is damaged. At the same time, by providing a sealing glue layer, it can effectively prevent liquids such as water from contacting the terminal through the gap between the colloid and the wiring harness, thereby improving the safety performance of the product;
